TUNE is a KA2 project between France🇫🇷 (NICOLA Arts France), Italy🇮🇹

(Serik) co-funded by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ Program.
The project aims to facilitate cross-cultural exchange and cooperation through choir workshops for young people from different countries. The objectives of the project are to enhance musical skills, promote cultural understanding, and develop new partnerships among participants. We will implement a range of activities to achieve our project objectives, including workshops, training sessions, intercultural activities, joint music-making, and public concerts.
The Objectives:

Build a community for young people to bring them together, create a sense of community and connect with others who share a common interest.

Improve mental health by reducing stress and anxiety, and increasing feelings of happiness and well-being.
Develop social skills via collaboration and communication with others.
